New Website!


Hi Everyone!

I'm back...my apologies I had planned on having more posts up at this stage BUT I have started designing my very own website..exciting stuff :-)! I have a long way to go as I am doing it on my own so there is alot of trial and error but i'll get there! My web address is www.skelliemakeup.com so go have a look leave your details and leave me a lil' post here with your opinions may they be good/bad its all good really at the end of the day! So at the moment in between doing that and running after four little lunatics I have been ordering some cosmetics from Coastal Scents in the States. I have read/listened to so many reviews on this specific brand that I decided I would just make up my own mind in regards to its quality. I should have it in the next two weeks so as soon as it comes to the door I will post a video of my reaction so you will know what I really think of it! On the other side of things I have been asked by a photographer in my area to do a photoshoot called 'Rock the Frock' or 'Trash the Dress' as others may have heard it being referred to! (Have a look at some vids on you-tube) Basically its where a bride gets a second chance to wear her wedding dress but this time there is no minding of the dress! Its a fun shoot where the bride ends up with some really fantastic pictures that she never thought she would have! So, not only am I doing the make-up I am also the model/bride! Or as I would like to think the 'muse,' far from a model now as I am only 5ft 3' so there's no chance of a shot on ANTM for me! :-) That is happening in the next two weeks so as soon as I get pictures they will be posted. I will also be posting some pictures of my own wedding as I did the makeup for that aswell and I have pictures of my very pretty friend Jenny who's makeup I did recently for a wedding! I promise it won't be as long for my next post so keep in touch and subscribe, join, become a fan, leave a comment whatever rocks your boat, until then have a great day!

First Post!

Hi Everyone!
Well here is my very first post! You will have to bear with me as this is all new and sure as the saying goes "practice makes perfect"! My plan really is to give a week to week account of my make up artistry course when I start it in March. Make-up has been a passion of mine since I can remember, I know that sounds sooooo cliche but its true! I have had to put my dream on hold as I have four children,therefore as you can imagine the past few years have been quiet busy in their own right. During those four years I have educated myself in all things make-up, from reading books to listening to tutorials to practising on my friends and even doing my own make-up and my four bridesmaids the morning of my wedding!(Ahhhhh!). In the up-coming weeks I will be keeping you informed  regarding  the applicaion process ect. so in the mean time I will be posting some bargain buys, tried & tested products and the likes for all you die hard make up heads!
